Save the Date! Wahoo!! One year from today I get to walk down the aisle on the hand of my father to be ’given away’ to a wonderful, goofy, intelligent, and dead-sexy (hehe) ;) man who loves me more than he probably should haha. He’s going to kill my spiders, give me back rubs when I’m too anxious to sleep, take the trash out because I hate to, be the most amazing father to my children, and hold me tight whenever I need to be! This made my think of something because I see so many people do say this - but, I don’t like it when people say that their significant other is their “best friend” because that’s something different - That’s a title for my closest girls like Aurora, Burr, and Kelsey, not for my husband. Does our relationship have some similar qualities? Yes, of course, because you can’t fall in love with someone if they don’t “get you” like a best friend would. He keeps my secrets, we have inside jokes, we can just sit around and do nothing and be perfectly content about it, but there’s a difference. All physical attractions and heart-racing hormones aside (because I think our mothers can read this haha), when one of us are having just THE worst moment, there’s nothing better than the other just sitting there with you, knowing whether to say the perfect something or if this is just one of those “shut up and just hold me” moments where you’ve got to weather the storm their going through. I have the most amazing best friends in the world but that’s not a capability any of us have to offer each other. There’s a missing piece and that’s what makes someone your person. Bobby’s my person, he can do it all, and I’m that person for him and it’s been this way for a long time. Any one of our friends can tell you we’ve had stages where it wasn’t always picket fences and rainbows; and he and I can both admit that just like any other relationship we can throw some nasty words and arguments each others way but the glue that has kept us together is the fact that we work on us, always, everyday. No one is perfect - we both came INTO this relationship with a lot of our own demons and habits that became embedded in us the 18 & 19 years prior before we met. We both brought a lot of shit to the table but we care enough to wipe it clean time after time, own our mistakes, and focus on the fact that we couldn’t picture being with anyone else. Think we sound crazy? Fine, haha, I guess love and partnership isn’t for everyone… But I can guarantee you your life isn’t nearly as fulfilled as ours is, no matter the bullshit from time-to-time. It’s when you don’t care enough to work on yourself and your relationships that you don’t live a happy life. I’m going to live a happy life.
